Who do You Look Like?

I find it interesting that people automatically try to determine who babies look like. Does he look like mommy? or daddy? Great Aunt Agnes maybe? Really, how do you tell? Especially with the little ones because their faces tend to be kind of mushed. Yet, people always look for it, and almost always offer an opinion.

Resemblances become clearer as the child ages, though - my son tends to favor me, and the Little Miss is definitely daddy's girl. (See, I look for it too) Interestingly, the Little Man acts like his dad and Little Miss is displaying some of my traits.

My entire life I've been told I look like my dad's side of the family, specifically my aunt. The spitting image, or so people always said. She and I neither one saw it, but there must have been something to it because I even had teachers in high school call me by her name more than once by mistake.

Lately, the story has changed. Comments have tapered off about my resemblance to my aunt , and I've been told more than once recently that I look and sound just like my mom. It's kind of thrown me for a loop things have done a 180 like that.

It's kind of made me think . . . Is it normal for a person to morph from looking like one parent to looking like the other as they age? Or is it perhaps more like when people get to look more like their dogs after years of living together? And could that actually happen to me - am I eventually going to look like Mr Me? Any thoughts on this?
